Revit journal files

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone, 

I have exported massive data of generated Revit journal files in .dpm format. the thing which I looking for is how to encounter these data in terms of clean and make them ready for analyzing. I prefer to convert .dmp to .csv format after cleaning. 

I will be appreciateed it if anyone gives me an idea about this problem. 

Thanks-

Mohammad

This has nothing to do with the Revit API, so we cannot help you here.

Revit journal files are not an officially supported API functionality.

Moreso, you say nothing about what you are filtering for.

Above all, a DPM file is not a Revit journal file. Apparently, it is some form of Microsoft debugging tooL

I think you are probably in the wrong place for this question.

Hi @jeremy_tammik 

Thanks for getting back to me. Since I am new in this field I needed some idea on how to filter items I need through text files. The needed items are date, user, commands and project type which is time-consuming to extract in each text file. I am googling to find the solution and sorry for asking about my problem in the wrong forum.

Thanks-

No problem and thank you for your appreciation.

Typical powerful command-line Unix tools to achieve this are grep, awk and sed, all three described in brief on Wikipedia:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grep
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AWK
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sed

I use all three frequently for such tasks.

Thank you @jeremy_tammik  for the suggestions, Since I decided to cluster my data for an ongoing project  I prefer to parse them with python packages. The problem which I faced today is that there are types of date and time in the logs, I will put them here in case you can help me to find out what is the difference between them!

Thanks again and sorry if I am not asking my question in the right forum:)

I see the following differences:

• Prefix C/E/H differs
• Date is identical, however, not ISO 8601 standard
• Time differs
